Long, long, long ... yes I mean really long ago
when Scar was a very young Brave
even before the battle of Council Rock
He was known in the camp of the Yellow Knives as Wawinhaka
which means the joker
He was quite a mischievous One even as a child
and His propensity for playing jokes on His Friends was well known:
He was oft found putting frogs in the furs of the Women
making them yelp in surprise and the Men howl with laughter
and He would keep a stash of eggs in the sun, to quietly exchange in His Fellow Brave's breakfast
and roll in the dust when They made funny faces as they raise the egg to Their lips
all over the camp Folks were wary of His pranks and always trying to catch Him
but none ever did
over and over He would create much laughter and embarrassment in the camp as No One was free from His games
He began to hear whispers of some of the other Young Braves who wanted to get Wawinhaka with a prank
it became almost a matter of coup
as to who could catch Wawinhaka in a prank
but He was very clever
and very alert
and always on guard, seeing the possible joke before it could come to fruition
seeing as He had played every joke anyone could think of, it was very hard for anyone to come up with one He had not already done
one day
in the heat of a very long dry summer
the braves had just returned from a long day of hunting
it had been a frustrating day because of the draught, game was very scarce
They had only been able to bring in a couple of very thin tabuk
and a herlit
but the women made ready for the meal, making a stew with the few vegetables that were left
and a few of the braves went to the creek to wash off the dust of the hunt
Wawinhaka had stepped away from the others behind a tree to ummm well You know what He was doing
when He heard one of His Friends yell "Sleen!!!!!"
rolling His eyes as He listened to the warning
Wawinhaka thought to Himself
They must truly be tired to think that I would fall for that old one
and He continued about His business not even turning to look around the tree
then He began to notice an absense of voices at all and the feeling of being watched from behind
before He could even turn to look, He felt the hot breath of the viscious, starving animal on the back of His neck
before He knew it, He was face to face with the snarling, lunging horrible gnashing teeth of an enormous dust colored desert sleen
the animal was emaciated from lack of food and absolutely fearless
It lunged forward on the first of its 6 legs, reaching its long snakelike neck forward and sinking it huge teeth into the thigh of Wawinhaka
without His spear or His bow
being rather indisposed at the moment
Wawinhaka lifted up bringing the sleen's head up with Him and grabbed the beast's head with His bare hands
twisting it harshly around and breaking the vast beast's long neck
Then He gets up and drags the beast's vast body back to the camp
doubling the meat for the stew
only then did He look down at His leg and notice that the 8 inch gash on His thigh still had in it the huge incisor of the sleen
sticking out of the wound
the Shaman of the camp reached down and removed the tooth, lifting it high for all to see
having heard the story of the kill and being grateful for both not losing this brave warrior and also for having more meat than the camp had had in weeks
the Shaman loudly announced to All
This Warrior will from this day forward be known as SleenScar
and all cheered and laughed and many whispered that finally the joke was on Scar, but as usual, He wins in the end anyway
the end
